High Pressure Compressors

Air Compressors 25-40 bar (362-580 psi)

DX/DN
Oil-free reciprocating piston booster

Atlas Copco’s DX/DN oil-free reciprocating booster is the alliance of an extremely robust design with the best of technology in terms of packaging and equipment. DX/DN is your best partner in air and nitrogen compression to 46 bar/667 Psig. Available as a mono-stage or two-stage machine, it perfectly suits a wide variety of requirements in terms of flow and pressures. You will appreciate its canopy for its silencing properties and you will easily adopt the concrete frame that makes installation so easy.

Features and Benefits

Certified 100% oil-free – DX/DN boosters add no oil to your process. If the air or nitrogen entering the booster complies with ISO 8573-1 class 0 certification (2010), then the air or nitrogen will comply with class 0 at the outlet. CLASS 0 means zero risk of contamination; zero risk of damaged or unsafe products; zero risk of losses from operational downtime; and zero risk of damaging your company’s hard-won professional reputation.

Nitrogen-ready – We adapt the piston rings and packing rings to nitrogen composition, dew point and purity. We supply DX/DN with or without a canopy (gas detection).

Energy savings – DX/DN boosters with two compression stages are also available in Variable Speed Drive versions, allowing for 35% energy savings due to:
– Unload losses are reduced to a minimum
– Load/no load transition losses are eliminated
– Precise pressure control allows a tighter pressure band and a lower average working pressure, resulting in reduced energy consumption.

Use your energy twice – Compression creates heat that is normally wasted in coolers. Energy recovery systems enable the recovery of most of the heat. The heat is directly usable as a source of energy in the form of hot water. The hot water can be used for showers, space heating, steam boilers, processes etc.

Easy installation – Fitted on a concrete base-plate, the DX/DN booster comes as an all-in-one package. The compact design eliminates the need for extras and accelerates installation, saving you time and money.

Advanced control and monitoring – The Elektronikon ® Unit Controller collects and analyzes local data then adjusts equipment operation to improve performance. The Unit Controller is designed to ensure increased safety for you, your product, and your process. To better adapt our product to meet your specific needs, many different remote control and notification functions are included as a standard.

ZD
Oil-free screw and reciprocating piston compressors

Atlas Copco’s ZD is the alliance of the world renowned ZR screw compressor, which delivers quality dry air at medium pressure, and the highly efficient D booster which brings the air to 40 bar. ZD represents a quantum leap in reciprocating technology. It is a champion in energy saving and its design is revolutionary. You will appreciate its silencing canopy and its concrete baseplate that makes installation so easy. With its numerous versions and versatility, ZD brings tremendous benefits to your bottom line.

Features and Benefits

Certified 100% oil-free – ZD compressors provide you with 100% pure, clean air that complies with ISO 8573-1 CLASS 0 (2010) certification. CLASS 0 means zero risk of contamination; zero risk of damaged or unsafe products; zero risk of losses from operational downtime; and zero risk of damaging your company’s hard-won professional reputation. In 2006 Atlas Copco was the first manufacturer in the world to receive such certification on an oil-free compressor.

High reliability – The ZD’s reliability is based on several fundamentals. The first compression stages are rotary, which are world renowned for reliability. Air is dried at the outlet of the screw compressor, so only dry air enters the D booster, eliminating problems linked to condensates. The D booster’s horizontal design, with low vibration levels, ensures long life of internal components.

Maximum energy savings – Being a 4-stage configuration, the ZD is 7% more efficient in terms of energy than the typical 3-stage configuration. In addition you can further reduce energy costs by adjusting the required discharge pressure between 25 bar (362 psig) and 40 bar (580 psig). ZD is also available in a Variable Speed Drive (VSD) version, enabling 35% energy savings. For blowing machines equipped with air recovery systems, re-injecting the air back to the booster allows further significant energy savings.

Advanced control and monitoring – To maximize efficiency and reliability, the Elektronikon® controls the main drive motor and regulates system pressure within a predefined and narrow pressure band. The Elektronikon® controller can be adapted to your specific needs with extra sensors, digital contacts, fieldbus and SMS communication functions. In combination with the ES multiple compressor controller, the operation of your complete compressor room is optimized.

A wide array of solutions for your compressor room – ZD allows you to manage your medium pressure and high pressure networks separately, which optimizes your investment and floor space.

Low maintenance – For air-cooled versions, no external cooling system is needed, saving on investment, maintenance and water consumption.

Use Your Energy Twice – With the adaptation of an Heat Recovery Control unit, the energy recovered in the cooling water of your water cooled ZD can be used for several uses : boilers, warming of premises, showers, cleaning processes. This saves a lot of energy.
